LUKE'57 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Got contacted by a guy doing a DVD on the history of Augusta Speedway (dirt and asphalt ovals and the road course) to do some photos for it of cars that ran there that they had no photos of. I built a copy of the steel rail/wooden retaining wall for the oval shots and will use my '60's vintage models to replicate moments in the tracks history. Here's the first one with Bobby Isaac in Junior Johnson's '65 Galaxie. The front stretch way is very strange looking but that's the way the real one was.

goldfinger Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I have thought of doing this and your results are excellent. I had a thought though. What if you took a wheel and spun it and took a picture of that then printed it out and cut out the center then actually covered the models wheels with it . Then the wheel centers would be blurred too.
RodneyBad Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Your photos are as great as your models.. Do you build all of those models? are they all curb sides?
LUKE'57 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Most of them are pretty much curbside builds. I try to indentify the ones built by my brother but with very few esceptions, mostly diecast street car parking lot fillers, they are all my builds. I trade off some of the "hidden" detail for durablility. With the phototography and traveling to a few real car shows, my stuff lives a pretty hard life compared to the average model.
